18. An experiment for a new asthma medication was set up into two groups. Group one was give the new drug for asthma, while group 2 was given a sugar pill. The sugar pill serves as a A. Control B. Dependent variable C. Experimental variable. Constant In the following two hypotheses, identify which is the dependent variable and which is the independent variable. 19. Raising the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere will cause the polar ice caps to reduce in size. A. is the independent variable 8 is the dependent variable 20. If the sugar amount increases, then the candy bar will taste sweeter. A the independent variable B. ____ is the dependent variable ——— 21. {A selentist makes'a graph of the rate of photosynthesis What implication does this graph relative to light brightness for a plant species. carry for a farmer growing this plant species Indoors under artificial Rate of Photosynthesis light? er Brightness of Light. ‘A The'farmér should only light the ‘growing space when plants are Photosynthesizing.

Rate of Photosynthesis Ashopping mall wanted to determine whether the more expensive “Tough Stuff” floor wax was better then the cheaper “Stee! Seal” floor wax at protecting its floor tiles against scratches. One liter of each brand of floor wax was applied to each of 5 test sections of the main hall of the mall. The test sections were all the same size and were covered with the same kind of tiles. Five (5) other test sections received no wax. After 3 weeks, the number of scratches in each of the test sections was counted. 22. What is the independent variable(s)? 23. What is the dependent variable? 24, What is the control group? 25. Whatis the experimental group(s)? _
